You are purposely being a contrarian just to show how badass and unwoke and anti-PC you are. Congrats on your awesomeness.

No one is saying that Gruden should be fired on the spot. But, if you honestly can't see why commenting on the largeness of a black man's lips is a bad idea that hits on some very well-known racial tropes, then you're a fucking idiot.

Guy coaches a team that is mostly African-Americans. I can't help but think they may be wondering what he says about them.

No, he should take a ration of shit


and we're calling him a dumbass. His rationalization is a fucking joke. Pretending that he wasnt aware that exagerating the size of a black man's lips is racist would lead me to believe that he is mentally handicapped.

You have to be kidding.  I hope this is schtick.

If you honestly can’t see that’s nowhere near what I said then you should look in the mirror before posting.

If he can somehow win over his team, I'd have no problem whatsoever with him keeping his job. But he doesn't have a particularly stellar track record of being well liked by his teams as is. If the season goes sideways, ownership will have no problem showing him the door.

The real issue is how and why a 10 year old email surfaces now. Who's wife/dtr did he plow, etc. This is some kind of hit for some reason not yet actually revealed.

Yeah, the issue isn't that he felt comfortable putting that racist shit in an email.

Not saying Gruden isn't a dick and wrong, just saying why the timing isn't questioned. 

Please chill: It's not like I'm saying we should support TEOT being played at games, because then that would be ridiculous,of course.

the usual suspects come out and defend gruden you race hustling bitch

I hate Gruden and his tired, overrated act.  In fact, I hate the NFL.  Can’t switch it off fast enough.

Good try though.

Sorry I touched a hustlin’ nerve.  Shoulda used novicaine.

You hate Gruden and the NFL so much you jumped in to comment on a thread about Gruden and the NFL and said the posters were the bad guys. You're a fucking moron

Helluva leap.  I post on lots of threads about shit I hate.  I’m glad to know someone here who is above that and NEVER does likewise.

We are not worthy of you friendo.

Who decided that when inappropriate race-related stuff comes out on a person, they must lose their current job (even if said issue happened prior to their current job) no matter what apology they offer, but after being fired if they seem apologetic then they are allowed to work again? Why can’t they just apologize and keep their current job, especially if the event predates their current employment? 

This phenomenon isn’t limited to race. When the Astros trash can scheme came out, Hinch and Luhnow were fired; and Cora and Beltran lost their jobs with other clubs. Hinch and Cora are already back, so what was the point?

Is there a statute of limitations? Will the social justice bloodlust be satiated before it gets to the point of people looking into others’ elementary school record for racial, gender, or mental handicapped insensitivity to get you fired decades later?

Dude, you called a black guy an Uncle Tom on shaggy. You, probably should sit this one out

Yeah, you wanna go there?  I guess you can either wade through tons of scat porn to prove whatever was said was racist or STFU.  Or even worse, you can roll into the CR here and I’m sure you can find at least one example.  Let’s see it…

Should we get into your posting history, Adolf?
